That's a sign of good luck in the UK.

But it is truly disgusting. Bleurgh.

Yeah that's lucky.

It's a sign of good luck?! Just with pigeons? Or birds in general?

Superstition ain't the way.

Birds in general...

And chuckdarwin: UNBELIEVER! HERETIC!

I suppose it's good luck if you have some kind of scat fetish. Good luck indeed.

You've got me dead to rights: I wear those badges proudly. I was just shining my Heretic badge this morning...

I was in the middle of a seafood platter the last time it happened to me. Didn't seem too lucky at the time.

It would be a fairly bad sign if it was your girlfriend.

And I must say, being in the UK, may I think you for the inordinately good luck I'm having today!

Any ave...apparently it's good luck in Jewish tradition too (according to Ma Fanny in Judy Blume's Starring Sally J Freedman as Herself)

A seagull puked on my head when I was 9. I've hated birds ever since.

Yes but that bus didn't run you over when you were 10. Never forget that.

Oh god. I'm sooo paranoid of that ever happening to me. Bro#2 got shat upon by a nervous seagull at the Seattle Aquarium. I almost added to the mess by puking on his shoes.

*shudders*
